Adult recounters childhood sighting on Black Mountain

The witness was inside an upper house getting ready for bed and looked out a window at the night sky. They saw the dark silhouette of a tall figure walking past, with only the top half visible above the treetops.

UFO sighting in North Carolina (1990)

Two young backpackers camped at a cliff overlook in the fall and noticed a small blue light in the trees below.

Just after sundown, driver has sighting close to Carter Mountain

In fall 1986 at dusk the witness was driving up a mountain dirt road when he passed a tall, hairy upright figure standing beside a large tree.

The next morning the same tree was found fallen across the road and was being cut up, destroying any possible tracks.

Hunter has daytime sighting near Shocco Creek

The witness was hunting alone in a forested creek bottom when a bedded deer flushed into tall reeds. From higher ground above the reeds he saw a tall dark mottled figure moving upright across the creek about 50 yards away. The figure turned to look at him, showing a hump on its back, then pushed swiftly through dense vegetation without dodging. The witness left the area and later confirmed no other hunters or vehicles were nearby.

Deer hunter witnesses a large, gorilla like animal

The witness, a teenager on a deer-hunting trip on private wooded land in North Carolina, was waiting in a tree stand in the morning when he noticed a strong bad odor and then heard twigs snapping. He watched the upper half of a large dark-furred creature about 50 yards away standing in one spot eating leaves for several minutes before it walked away while still audible. When companions arrived he recounted the sighting and they suggested it was a bear, which he rejected because he had seen a bear earlier that day.

Youth's presence startles unknown animal

As a teenager cutting through dense swampy woods on a military reservation, the witness noticed the forest go silent and felt watched. He saw a brown, long-haired form that rose to an estimated 8-10 feet and crashed rapidly through thick brush. He remained frozen until normal forest sounds returned, then left and never returned to the area.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina (1957)

The witness, then about 12, was hunting squirrels alone in the woods behind his childhood home. After crossing a creek bridge into thick regrowth he heard rhythmic leaf-rustling and pushed through brush to within a few feet of a very large cinnamon-brown hairy animal lying flat asleep. He watched its breathing move leaves, could see only its back with legs tucked under, then backed out fearing it was a bull and told no one for decades.

Sasquatch sighting near Cherokee, North Carolina

After the shooting the guest said aggression around the family's and grandfather's properties escalated. Horses, goats and other livestock were found dead, corrals and barn doors were torn, gardens were ripped down, and a gut pile was left on the grandfather's porch. The grandfather was once seen firing a rifle at a creature in his corral, and coordinated disturbances were reported at multiple homes in one night until the family moved away.

The guest described being a young child playing on the living room floor in the evening while both parents were in the same room. A hairy creature came to the window, slammed its hands on either side, and pressed its face to the glass.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

Later the same evening the three boys were playing in their bedroom when they shone a toy light across the window and saw a large brown hairy face blocking the moonlight. The witness dove over the bed as the creature moved to the back door and smashed a cinder block through it, leaving a hole large enough for a leg. The family packed and left that night, with the adults later dismissing it as a relative in a costume.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

After moving in, the couple heard whistles, whoops, footsteps and had pebbles thrown, with trail cameras failing. On a cold night about a year ago they sat quietly with lights off, heard a group approach talking, then lit them with flashlights. They describe one tall figure by a deck, one smaller figure lying prone that blinked, others peeking from trees, and others slapping buildings as a distraction before all left down a ridge.

Sasquatch sighting near Hendersonville, North Carolina

Four people camped in a van by the lake and walked up a logging trail with torches. The dog ran ahead and fled yelping to the house. Something gray and bulky crossed the trail, then something crashed from the trees, blew out the torch, and loomed over them as a dark mass with outstretched arms. They fled to the van, later heard something walking around and scratching the van, and next morning found scratch marks through paint.

the morning after evening shot of deformed buck North Carolina #b51f7e7c-1e8a-4f98-baae-45f0c86c5183

Growl in North Carolina

After evening-shooting a large deformed buck that ran into the woods, the guest returned at dawn and crawled into a low briar tunnel to follow blood. A tremendous growl vibrated through him, heavy stomping approached, and a towering shadow loomed over his back with visible flexing fingers. He talked calmly while backing out, then fled. Two days later he found only the deer's ripped-off head with crumbling bone.
